Village Artists Featured in Island Series

BRADENTON – The Blue Marschmello's Hector and Bonnie Ferran are currently showing at Artspace Studios and Gallery, as part of their series of Pop-Up shows, a run of small two-week shows focused on local artists. Cardboard Kitsch and the Wooden Wallflower will be on exhibit through Saturday.

Located above the Anna Maria Post Office, at the corner of Pine Avenue and South Bay Boulevard, Artspace Studios and Gallery is open during the summer, Wednesdays through Saturdays 11-4 PM. The Ferran's are the founders of The Village Magazine and their gallery is one of the most vibrant and inspired in downtown Bradenton's Village of the Arts.

For this exhibit, you can expect their quirky brand of art, which employs found and recycled materials. The couple creates folk art and graffiti inspired works, collages and stencils and often reflects icons of pop culture.
